Toddler-Guidance Learning: Impacts of Critical Period on Multimodal AI Agents. (arXiv:2201.04990v1 [cs.LG])

Critical periods are phases during which a toddler's brain develops in
spurts. To promote children's cognitive development, proper guidance is
critical in this stage. However, it is not clear whether such a critical period
also exists for the training of AI agents. Similar to human toddlers,
well-timed guidance and multimodal interactions might significantly enhance the
training efficiency of AI agents as well. To validate this hypothesis, we adapt
this notion of critical periods to learning in AI agents and investigate …
